24 hours with no snake sightings....nice....
Plus, enough asparagus picked to have with some freshly baked gluten free bread today.
Excellent!
One of our neighbours, however, has also had a snake incident...a double act, 2 in one day! What the hell? She & her family have lived at their rural property over 10 years & are long-term residents of the area, and yet this incident has them worried about snakes as well now.
First snake; >5 foot Eastern Brown, second >4 foot. So we discussed whether it was a breeding pair of the Bastards. Then, when I shared that I've also seen 2 x Juveniles the past month or so she realised she may in fact have an entire nest of them hiding in the garden or near the chook pen or the house.....crikey!
But for those city dwellers that may be reading this & feeling smug....they're alive & biting in suburbia as well; check this out:

Also in today's Brisbane news; 3 reports of hospitalisation from snake bites in 1 day!

Everyone just be careful eh? It's darn hot but we're putting our boots on anywhere not on a path or lawn...even then we need to watch where we're stepping.
Tread carefully & have a nice day!
